I'm not sure what the average "regular" Christian or Muslim could do about 
the radical ones.  Normal Christians don't "do" anything about Fred Phelps 
either.

I think the problem is more what the leaders of the religion are saying. If 
the pope was out there advocating suicide bombers, I think there would be a 
better case against Catholics than there is now.

I disagree. Islam very easily legislates you to death quite literally, where 
Islam is the primary religion of the country. The whole "Sharia Law" thing 
is Islam, you know. :-)

Christians mostly legislate you because you're not radical enough for death 
threads. Muslims legislate you where they can, and blow you up where they 
have no valid political authority. Christians murder you where they have no 
valid politcal authority to otherwise do so. And the fringe-moderates 
(Limbaugh, for example?) support it.

Good rant! :-)
